When Nuns Speak of Afros and Dinosaurs Lie!
So, I'll be doing an update in a bit (with a Shinjiro translation, yAAAy!!!) plus some news on what's been happening recently in my life. Actually, let me do that first. The crap about what's been up with Victoria recently? Eh, I'll get to that later in this post...
Life in the Real World
Since, aside from how much time I put into NSL, the internet just isn't the "real world" anymore.
Work has been absolutely amazing! I honestly never thought I woudl like such a random job...I mean, working in a bookstore definitely sounded like a fun idea, but I didn't realize how many things would come of it! I've been working at the registers (bagging and as a cashier) and also stocking, but at the registers I work with four wonderful old ladies. I absolutely love them so much, and I'll be sad when I have to leave this job! They are truly some of the best people I've ever met, funny and understanding and just...GAH, they're just too great! But anyway, I wanted to tell you about a few things that have been happening there! About two days ago, we went into work at the normal time in the morning, and Laura came up to us to say "You know, a little while after you guys left yesterday, a guy came in asking for the twins. I asked if he knew you, but he said no." Marysa and I were both confused....What??? Who is this guy?? He must know us if he was asking for us! Waaaah!!!! Who is the mysterious stranger?!?!?! I want to know!!!!! Later on, we had lunch with our cousin Jen. We actually walked down through the campus, seeing lots of people we knew. Jen showed us her artwork hanging up in the art gallery. She was so proud, and we were proud of her too! ^_____^ It was nice to know she was doing well (although the teacher didn't exactly give her the grade she deserved! =/)
Oh yeah! And also, that day we went to play the grand piano in the ballroom, during our break. Laura had told us about it. She said the room was always empty, and that people sometimes went in there to bang on the piano. It is a beautiful piano. Marysa and I don't play, but we got curious and went in to try it out! We ended up playing a song on the piano from Jay Chou's movie "The Secret." Well, after our first break, we went back for our break after lunch, and we went to try playing it again. And a guy who was looking in from the windows came into the room smiling, and sat down. We thought he was studying, so we played a little longer and then got up to leave (since break was almost over), telling him sorry for interrupting his studying. But he waved us off. "No, no!" he said, smiling. "I came in to listen." I think I blushed. That was a really cool moment!!!!! Marysa and I aren't even good! "Oh, no, we're not piano players," I told him, feeling stupid. But maybe the music sounded nice, who knows? Jay Chou does write wonderful music! It's just a matter of if we did it justice! *^_^*
Finally, I was back to working in the store, and who should I see (as I'm about to get on a register), but Dan!! XD He looked surprised to see me, but he grinned and waved! I was so happy!!!!!! Anyway, he was with some friends and was leaving, so he couldn't stay to chat I guess. The thing is, he was my middle school crush! It was just really nice to see him again, even if I no longer have those feelings! ^__^ Hooray for good times!!! I hope I can come back to work at the store next year, during school break. I absolutely love it there, and especially the people! Good times to be had by all, as Brent would say! (I honestly feel so peaceful at that job, even though I'm working hard and smiling for lots of people!!)
By the way........HAIRCUT VERY SOON!!!! *is excited* I've always wanted bangs (fringe), and now I'll finally be getting some! Yesh!
Anywaaaaaayy....
The Online Joker
Actually, to be honest, the joker is much cooler and much more clever than this idiot. Sorry, that's just the truth. And you all know who I'm talking about. Looks like today she decided to "come back" (though she said she'd be leaving LJ for a while, which isn't true anyway since she's been using her new account on here) and write crap about cloud_honey and us. Pfft. Please. It's quite clear to me that she hasn't gotten used to the fact that she was caught in the act this time. Did I say "this time"? That's right, because she admitted to doing this to people before. For proof, go to this post here. Anyway, since she seemed to think that she needed to defend herself against the things she's done, I felt the need to defend myself against the things she's done (and continues to do). So, without further ado, here goes!
I'll be commenting to the different things she wrote in her post.
"Someone contacted me today with a very long, scathing e-mail essentially cursing me out for what they think I did to bestfiction. They even threw in a death threat at the end."
I'd sure like to see that message, since trusting Victoria has definitely become a thing of the past. Otherwise, I think this might be one of those things where she "makes everyone feel bad for her by making up lies."
"It really, really hurts to be accused of things you haven't done, and it bothers me that I am not strong enough to move on."
Yes, it does hurt to be accused of things one hasn't done. Marysa and I would know best, considering Victoria tried very hard to accuse us and make us look like the ones doing all this stuff for the past few months. However, considering Victoria did the things she's accused of doing, I'm sorry to say that if she's hurting right now, there's a word for it. It's called "guilt." Or, perhaps in her case, it's called "being found out." And it should bother you, Victoria, that you weren't strong enough to move on. I don't know how many damn times we had to tell you that if you could just delete the fake accounts, we could just move on and forget the other things you did. Your fault that your pride got in the way, and still is, for that matter.
"I haven't even seen the actual post at bestfiction because I am not a member"
No need to finish the sentence here, because this is bullcrap. One of her fake accounts on our site is a fake account on that site. So that's that.
"all of the supposed "support" they have received because of this... it really saddens me."
Yeah, I know why any "support" for our sites would bother you. Because you've been trying so hard to make this a competition and take us down, that the fact that we actually have real people on our site (i.e. not you using fake accounts to boost your member count) must really upset you.
"I feel like I have been framed, and there is nothing I can do but try to defend myself. Just imagine... Your friend murdered someone while wearing a pair of your gloves, so your fingerprints were on the gloves. Everyone thinks you killed the person because your prints were on it. So, you get charged and sent to jail. That's the equivalent of what this feels like."
I'm pretty sure that example is a little too extreme for your situation. Especially when you dunnit.
"If I was seriously that much of an asshole to pretend to be record companies to scare users on LiveJournal, then I would deserve everything I have been getting."
Well said.
"Scaring someone like that is about as low and childish as one can get on the internet."
Also well said. Especially when you are a 21 year old adult and the person you're trying to harass is a 15 year old boy.
" But contrary to what people are thinking lately, I am not an asshole."
On the contrary... It takes a lot of guts for someone to say that, unless they're really sure of themselves.
"I feel ridiculous saying this now because I'm sure no one will believe me, but I actually am a nice person. I'm extremely sensitive, too. Too sensitive. I over think everything, and I put my family and friends ahead of myself."
You know, because every selfless person I know admits that. As far as I've known, the people who fit that description in my life never actually have to admit it to get people to believe it.
"I feel so stupid saying that. I feel like everyone is going to think 'What the hell? It's the internet. Get over it. It doesn't matter."
No, that's just what you and your fake accounts were telling us to do, back when you were harassing us.
"I've tried telling myself that, I've tried leaving, and I've tried reaching out to the users who have made the accusations."
Well, I can't speak about that first one since I'm not you, but no on the second two accounts. You did not try leaving. You just made the new account animatoria and kept coming back on that (oops, and on the fake accounts too). Oh, and no, you did not try to reach out to "us making the accusations." Do you consider continuing harassment as reaching out? Cuz otherwise, that's more bull-crap.
"I cannot stop thinking about it and what a negative impact this has had on me"
You mean on your "image"? That's what all of this was about, wasn't it?
"I'm an adult"
Glad you finally realized that. Now please start acting like one.
"I need some advice. I need some support."
And what a great way to close your entry. Just like what I was saying--all of this is, to her, about "having support". Congratulations. You've worked yourself out!
Sorry if I sound mean there. But the truth of the matter is, she's not going to let it be. She harassed and spammed, among other things, and somehow thinks that it was okay to do all that. Well, if it hasn't sunk in yet, then I don't know what else there is to say. I do know, however, that I'm not going to sit here and let her play the victim. If you want to end things, Victoria, that's great, because so do I. But if you're going to continue to accuse us of lying, then clearly you've still got a bone to pick. I hope you don't think for one minute that I'm going to just sit back and let you harass us some more, on the pretense that you did nothing and it was us all along. Yeah, right.
I can actually think of a few reasons (though I'm sure there are more) why she would be starting something again, by writing this post on her "old" account. One, though she is on our site with fake accounts (we've seen her IPs still waltzing in), she knows she can't take anything from our locked posts because then it'd be obvious that she was in our site somehow (to other people, when she's been adamantly trying to get people to believe her lie about otherwise). Secondly, I think she must be pissed that the LJ staff warned her about her multiple accounts. *shrugs* Can't say she didn't have that coming (and still does). Another thing includes how recently she tried to throw off our poll. Marysa and I set up a poll asking site members what kind of site special they'd next like to see, and she used several fake accounts to vote for the "shipper special". X__X
I know her friends are probably going to report this entry to her (since she's sent them to check out our personal blogs, which I could show you proof of, but I'd rather not), but I don't rightly care. I think she needs to see something like this. I'm not going to just give in and let her get away with harassing people. Internet or not, no one should have to stand that crap.
And now, for my update...*goes to NSL*
^^^Look, I accidentally "advertised" my site on my personal blog (and not on a fake one)!!! Hope I don't get harassed for that one!!!^^^
